Six until midnight is his rule. His final night is Saturday, March 12. On Wednesday, March 16, Horace Diaz will move a sn1all dance band in. The hours váll be nine to two through the week, ten to three Fridays and Saturdays, and not at aU Sundays.... NEW YORI< HILTON, Sixth Ave. at 53rd St. (JV 6- 7 0 00): The Seven Hills, a bird's-eye view of Rome, serves-along with its seven-to-nine dinner-the strange and wonderful bando- nion of Mario Peralta, an in':ìtrument facile enough to make all ordinary accordions seem diminished. Closed Saturdays and Sun- days. . . . SHERATON GLADSTONE, 114 E. 52nd St. (PL 3-4300): Tony Gorody the old Havana clubman, is playing \\Ioo-the-muse piano in the Bivouac Room, and that's not a bad idea. Between six and one, he's in fairly constant attendance. Closed Sundays. BIG AND BRASSY (Dining, unless otherwise indicated.) COPACABANA, 10 E. 60th St. (PL 8-0900): The surprise package that is opened here every night is Linda Hopkins, a strapping big gusty broth of a soprano. Her companions are the celebrated Allen & Rossi (one good tenor, a lot of familiar pleasantries, and a couple of definite unpleasantries) and a bunch of the Copa ballerina::, still piquantly taking their very first steps. On Thursday, March 17, Steve Lawrence, who used to show us what made Sammy run, takes over. Danc- ing.. . ç In the lounge, from ten on and on, there is rumpus-room music nearly every n1inute. . . . LATIN QUARTER, Broadway at 48th St. (Cl 6-1735): A new world, inhabited largely by young ladies (and clearly a very warn1 one, considering their garb). The cha- rade in which they are involved takes nearly two hours to pass a given point, without mak- ing any particular point. Among the viewerc; is Kay Starr, gallantly converting Texas Leaguer songs into unmistakable home runs A Hungarian ballet troupe (midwinter night's madness) and a brace of noble circus acts are also in attendance. Rarely in the back- ground is a more-than-life-size panther named Betty Jo Alvies. Dancing.... BASIN STREET EAST, 137 E. 48th St. (PL 2-4444) : Fol- lowing in the footsteps of Trini Lopez as he plies his refulgent guitar is difficult enough; sten1ming the tide of youthful glee that arises from the audience as he recites his child's garden of verse is impossible. Closed Sun- days. CABARETS (No dancing, and no formal dining, either, un- less indicated.) PLAZA 9-, Central Park S., just east of the Plaza Hotel door. (PL 9-3933): The considered opiniûns of J uliu::, Monk are pre::,ented, as al- ways, in revue forI1J, ("Pick a N un1ber XV") and, also as always, in parable, paraphrase, parody, and paradox. The cast, exceptional even by Monkish standards, involves Eliza- beth Wilson, Lee Beery, Liz Sheridan, Bill Hinnant, Dennis Allen, and John Keatts; the orchestra is the pianos of Robert Colston, Otis Clements, and Frederick Silver Nine and eleven-thirty are the starting times. Closed Sundays.... CHÂTEAU MADRID, 42 W. 58th St. (PL 3-3773): Joaquin Robles, living up to the flamencan code, tramples a pair of willing partners into the dust raised by his incessant feet. The five carollers known as Los Vegas have a son et lumière that makes Mexico the cradle of the newest New Music. The players give their all at dinner and sup- per through the week, thrice on Saturdays, at dinner on Sundays. The orchestra (Emilio Reyes's) offers the willing and able custom- ers a chance at rebuttal. Tea dancing of a thunderclap order (to Tito Puente's band) occurs on Sunday afternoons. . . . ç After ten, in the happy alcove just off the bar, there is the guitar of Mario Escudero, which will have you marching through A.ndalusia before you know it, as well as the eloquent voice of Domingo Alvarado, who decries the violent vagaries of Spanish love life. The alcove is closed Sundays. . . . DOWNSTAIRS AT THE UPSTAIRS, 37 w. 56th St. (JV 2-1244): Joan Rivers, who (to hear her tell it) is beyond the help of anything at all, has her first fit of manic depression after ten. Sam Hamilton s well- remembered piano is also available. Closed Sundays. . .. UPSTAIRS AT THE DOWNSTAIRS, 37 w. 56th St. (JlT 2-1244): "Just for Openers," the incumbent portmanteau revue, proves again the rule that nothing's perfect, but it also proves that there is still lots of merit in the old revue format. R. G. Brown is prin- cipal boy, and he is lent useful support by Richard Blair and Fannie Flagg. Nine-thirty and midnight, except Sunday. is the curricu- lun1. MOSTLY FOR MUSIC (No dancing, unless noted.) VILLAGE VANGUARD, 178 Seventh Ave. S., at 11th St. (CH 2-9355): The eighteen-strong car- rousel run by Thad Jones and Mel Lewis and populated by other Famous Players desists momentarily on Saturday, March 12, but it will reappear ever) Monday evening there- after. On Tuesday, March 15, Bill Evans' trio moves in for a stay, and Friday through Sun- day, March [8-20, Gerry Mulligan's quintet will take turns. . . . VILLAGE GATE, 160 Bleecker St. (GR 5-5120): A two-ply enterprise- street-IeveJ restaurant and below-decks grot- to. The restaurant, where Dave Pike's trio works, is open every night but Monday. The grotto operates like this: Friday and Satur- day, March 11-12, Maynard Ferguson's banshee sextet and Horace Silver's aspen-leaf quintet; Friday and Saturday, March 18-19, the Fergusons again, plus Wes Montgomery and the Wynton Kelly trio. Sundays, from five to nine, the Jazz Inter Action Group (the cover name for several crews) lets loose; Mondays, the fare is a couple of Latin bands and Symphony Sid, a commenta- tor who is sure he invented jazz.... BITTER END, 147 Bleecker St., at West Broadway. (GR 5-7804): The most important coffee plantation in the Village. With the Mocha goes mostly folk music on the best level, such as, right now, Josh White and Jake Holn1es. Tuesdays are assigned to visiting scholars . . . EDDIE CONDON'S, 330 E. 56th St. (PL 5- 9550): Jazz as it used to be, but mellowed a bit, and still as good as ever to dance to, which can be done here.

HALF NOTE, 289 Hudson St., near Spring St. (AL 5-9752) : Art Farn1er's good, honest quintet moves out on Sunday, March 13, and on Tuesday, March 15, a fivesome led by the joyous Roy Eldridge moves in. Visitors on Friday and Saturday, March 11-12, will also get to hear Clark Terry's foursome and Jimmy Witherspoon. Closed Mondays. . . . FIVE SPOT, 2 St. Marks Pl., just east of Third Ave (GR 7-9650): The steadily varying personnel of the Jazz Work- shop, the band in residence, is in the charge of Charles Mingus, bassist emeritus, rebel in search of a cause. Toshiko Mariano is the between-times pianist. Mondays, visit- ing groups do the blowing. On Tuesday, March 15, a new cast arrives-A.bbey Lin- coln, that willowy soprano, and the trenchant fivesome of Max Roach.... HICKORY HOUSE, 144 W. 5 2 nd St. (CI 7-9524): Billy Taylor, ,vhose piano divides itself between frolic and slow-ten1po fantasy, is at work vÚth his trio behind the oval bar. Eddie Thon1pson is the intermission keyboard man. Mondays, every- body stays home.... JIMMY RYAN'S, 154 W. 54 th St. (CO 5-9505): The spirit of the old 5 2 nd Street lives on here. Z utty Singleton, Max Kaminsky, Tony Parenti, Cliff Jackson, Herman Autrey, and Marshall Brown dwell fondly on the subj ect of good old days that are certainly not gone beyond their recall. Sundays, Don Frye has the podium and the piano to hin1self. . . . RED ONION, [586 Second Ave, at 82nd St. (RH 4-9682): Straw hats, blazers, and banj os on the rostrun1; beer and peanuts on the table-the new youth-will-be- served formula. From nine to three or four every night, the musicians give the classics of two generations ago a good, sound, nasal twang. Tuesdays through Thursdays, a bag- piper is included. . . . YOUR FATHER'S MUSTACHE, Seventh Ave., S at loth St (OR 5-4630): Here, as well, the banjo fills the air, aided in this instance by washboard, tuba, and trom- bone. Likewise, the population is ardent youth reliving a past it is too young to know. Light- brown sawdust, dark-brown peanuts, and
